Hello Mike
yes I know it needs some work. I think I should have used it in the DOG campaign instead. As far as the markings I haven't decided whether to paint or use decals. I finally figured out how to keep the home made decals together, give it a spray coating of Future.

Darrell---Looking forward to that one.

Mike----The Crusader looks AWESOME! The lines of the F-8 are tough to beat. It's a great looking airplane. Looks great in that livery.

Regards,

Ian

Looks nice Richard. I hear Iron Maiden has upsized to a 747 now for the Book of Souls Tour.

Best wishes,

Ian

Excellent work Daniel!

Is the soft-drink can a AM piece or scratch-built?

Hi all ,

i was not there for a while (was very busy with a new job) but i see that you went forward very well mates !

@ Jan: very intersting and original Spit, i like it
@ Tat: your scratch built is very good on the Jeep, i will look forward !
@ Daniel: what an outstanding job !!!!! The seat springs are so vivids !!!! WHOOOO

And now here are my last pics, i fixed the engine nacelles and glued the wings. I had hard Putty/Sanding sessions but finally the job was done....





I also added pitot tube made with stretched bunch and scratchbuilt the 3 little tail counterweights (?) with styren rods and white glue drops:









Cheers

Your build is fantastic!!! The weathering is very inspirational. After seeing your completed kit, I am thinking about attempting to do a very weathered model - an abandoned plane perhaps?

Congratulations on your great build!
Have fun modeling
Mike
